Pros

You get to travel different places. Very long rides depending on the site you're called to. Get to see all kinds of crime scenes with bodily fluids and all. Not for the light hearted!

Cons

Being on call 24/7 365 can be a bit much. There are days where you may not even get a phone call to go clean which means you don't make money. The company doesn't want you to have a second job because it can conflict with calls. Overall not the best place to work if you're looking for a stable income.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I am sorry to hear that your experience with us did not meet your expectations. We have been committed to providing a comfortable, transparent, and collaborative environment for all of our employees. While I understand that being on call may be a challenging commitment, it is also a fundamental aspect of our business. Our mission is to help families whenever and wherever they may be. We cannot predict when a tragedy may occur - they can occur during weekends, at night, during odd times – but when they do, we are committed to providing emergency assistance. This unpredictability also means that we have on and off peak work schedules. Some weeks may require longer hours, while other weeks require fewer hours. I understand that translates into fluctuation in earnings, which is why we pay for overtime and offer holiday pay to compensate for that variability. We recognize that our business is unique and tests our employees both physically and emotionally given the types of situations that we respond to. While this job offers a very interesting and different type of work, it is also one that requires a different type of lifestyle. I appreciate your feedback and will take your comments to heart; we are constantly looking to improve our culture and organization.

Pros

- People here believe in the core value of the services we provide, and take pride in being compassionate caregivers in traumatic situations - Small company, everyone is very friendly and fun, very down to earth - Commitment to becoming a world-class company, striving to be head and shoulders above the competition in terms of professionalism and excellence - Performance culture - Job flexibility, you can move around

Cons

- Still in "sophomore" year of growth, so we are trying to build more process and scale into the business. Sometimes it's a little clunky, but we're learning as we go and adapting quickly - The location of headquarters is by a shopping mall, sort of remote - We have suffered terribly in terms of brand reputation, most of which is unwarranted. The early mistakes the company made are still lingering even though the company has radically upgraded its business practices. The criticism is demoralizing sometimes, but we know it's not the truth of what really goes on. I have seen first hand the very kind things that customers say, and I watch our teams work around the clock to help people for very little money, so it makes me frustrated when I see us being made out as bad guys. - Some occasional drama but that seems to be in any company I guess
